Exactly- I have a desktop and a laptop and want the same experience on both. I do have file sync setup with Nextcloud so that is handled, but for some things a hosted version makes sense. I’ve come a long way from using briefcases on a 3.5 floppy to have my data where I want it.

M+S basically just means they look promising, it doesn’t actually mean they perform in snow at all, compound plays a bigger role, normal tires get really hard and loose all traction in the cold. The absolute best option is dedicated snow tires (3-peak rated), next best is “all weather” tires, which also have the 3-peak rating but are suitable to drive on year round. They’re not as good as dedicated snow tires, but way better than “all season” (M+S) tires.

Uncapped outlets can cause backfeeding, as can damaged cables; when I worked in the field a factory had a damaged coax feed and when one of their machines started up it would knock out the leg. Coax is basically a wireless signal that is stuck on the antenna (wire) rather than a digital signal like Ethernet, and it is a shared medium unlike DSL.
